Title: What does it mean if two periods are typed in a row?
Post by: RGBKey on February 25, 2014, 03:49:57 PM
A single period ends a sentence, three denotes pause, but people type two at the end of their sentences sometimes. What is it? A typo? Some strange signal to wait? The second coming of our lord and savior satoshi nakamoto? I need answers!

Maybe it's like you finished a sentence but you feel as if something's missing yet not missing enough for a triple period..

It's code!

One period is an "e".
Two periods is an "i".
Three periods is an "s".

In some languages, period denotes dot.

If you encounter a complex correspondence with a myriad of periods/dots, be on the lookout for hyphens and dashes as well, of which correspond to "t" and "m", respectively. The keyword is "times", and the code goes back to 1984 when Cyndi Lauper sang her hit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdQY7BusJNU).

I'm assuming you're making a reference to morse code?

Morse-Code. I like that!.. I wonder if the name--or something similar--is brandable... Then again..
